Changes in Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity Following Exposure to High Frequency Head Impacts (HF-HI)
(Georgetown University, 2020)Concussions account for over 80% of all cases of TBI reported each year. Sustaining multiple concussions is associated with the development of lasting cognitive and memory impairments. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy ... -
Elucidating the Role of Plasticity-Related Gene Type 3 Protein in the Central Nervous System
(Georgetown University, 2018)PRG-3 (Plasticity-Related Gene), a member of a family of lipid phosphatase related proteins, also known as Phospholipid Phosphatase-Related Protein Type (PLPPR) proteins, are integral membrane proteins characterized by six ... -
Production, Accumulation and Clearance of Amyloid-beta After Experimental Traumatic Brain Injury
(Georgetown University, 2013)Traumatic brain injury (TBI) increases levels of the toxic peptide amyloid-beta (Abeta) in the brain. As acute accumulation of Abeta may contribute to secondary injury after TBI, and chronic accumulation of Abeta may ... -
The Effects of Traumatic Brain Injury on Sleep and Circadian Rhythms
(Georgetown University, 2022)Sleep and circadian rhythm disruptions are prevalent in neurodegenerative diseases, and exacerbate impairments in cognitive function, emotional and physical health. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant risk factor ...
